Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This collection assembles for the first time the songs and poetry of Gaelic poet Rob Donn, many of which derive from an oral tradition handed down through the centuries. The poems in this volume draw on the musical and literary heritage of Sutherland, an area in the Scottish Highlands where Gaelic is still spoken, and capture the unique perspectives and experiences of its people. Rob Donn, a master of both the oral and written word, was able to capture with great skill and accuracy the customs and language of the people around him. His poetry is seen as an invaluable historical record, providing a window into a way of life that, whilst now largely lost, helps give a broader sense of the history and culture of Gaelic Scotland. Rob Donn's verse also encapsulates the harsh realities of crofting life, while expressing a deep love for the landscape and wildlife of the region. His poetry not only reflects the pain of an oppressed people, but also celebrates their strength and resilience. Rob Donn's verse is notable for its biting humor, which he used both to critique the established order in Scotland and to satirize those within Gaelic society who were attempting to adopt the habits and dress of the English gentry. His work also reveals his extensive knowledge of folklore and tradition, and demonstrates a keen interest in the natural world. There is also a series of love poems in this volume, filled with characteristic wit and self-awareness. This book offers fresh insights into the culture and language of the Scottish Highlands and will be of great interest to scholars of Scottish history, culture, and literature. It will also appeal to general readers interested in the social history of Britain and Ireland, and to anyone who enjoys poetry that reflects a particular time and place.
